1. Extra-Wide Fender Flares

If you’re the weekend warrior type who’s not deterred by a lack of road, Extra-Wide Fender Flares may be your flare of choice. Favoured by off-roaders, Extra-Wide Fender Flares not only give your vehicle a rugged look that screams off-roading, they also provide maximum protection from rocks and other flying debris caused by tire spin. And if you’re NOT an off-roader remember this; there are over 1.2 million square miles of tree covered off-roading heaven in Canada. So maybe having a set of Extra-Wide Fender Flares might not be such a bad idea—you know, just in case.

2. Pocket Style (Rivet Style) Fender Flares

Arguably the most popular type of Fender Flare (for good reason) is the Pocket Style Fender Flare. This style of Fender Flare couples a tough looking riveted design with incredibly easy installation—Pocket Style Fender Flares fit into the factory made holes for your specific make and model.

Yes they look good and yes they’re easy to install. But possibly the most appealing feature of this style is that they are built to last. If you live in a colder climate, and of course being Canadian, you do. Pocket Style Fender Flares are a great choice because they stand up to the harshness of winter and polar vortexes—they will not warp or crack in extreme temperatures.

Finally, Pocket Style Fender Flares can easily be repainted to match the existing colour of your vehicle—so on top of everything else, they are very customizable.

3. Street Style Fender Flares

Street Style Fender Flares take a more subtle approach to the way they enhance your vehicle; instead of making a big, bold statement, Street Style Fender Flares incorporate a sleek design crafted to blend seamlessly with your vehicle’s lines.

Intended for city use, Street Style Fender Flares provide protection from paved road debris and will last many years of urban driving. Street Style Fender Flares come ready to install and are available for many different makes and models. Like Pocket Style, Street Style Fender Flares are easy to install and require very little experience to attach them.

4. Cut-Out Fender Flares

Ready for a challenge? Cut-Out Fender Flares require a bit more skill in the garage when it comes to installation compared to some of the other styles. Used to accommodate a larger tire size, installing this particular Fender Flare means you’ll be cutting into your wheel well—so some experience is necessary.

Cut-Out Fender Flares like the Bushwacker Fender Flare, are built tough to handle all sorts of rugged Canadian terrain.

5. OEM Style Fender Flare

OEM Style Fender Flares differ slightly in their approach from the other styles. While they do offer protection from road debris, installing this particular Fender Flare will emphasis your tires. Which makes sense if you’re the type of truck or SUV owner who plans to spend good money on high-end tires or rims. And IF you spend the money to get top of the line tires for your vehicle and choose NOT to emphasize them with Fender Flares—the look, the feel, the impression your vehicle makes will not be as strong as it could be.
